Emily was great and took really good care of my cat Philippe while I was away! Everything went really well from start to finish and was very easy to communicate with, sending lots of updates. I'd highly recommend Emily and would happily book again. Thank you!

About: I've looked after lots of wonderful dogs over the years, and one of my favourite things is getting to know their unique personalities. Every dog is different, from playful and energetic pups to gentle senior dogs and those who need a little extra patience because they're anxious or shy. I understand how important it is to tailor my care to each dog's individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they're with me. I'm truly passionate about making sure every four-legged friend is loved, well cared for, and treated like part of the family when they're away from their owners. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, and I always do everything I can to make them feel relaxed, secure, and loved. I'm always happy to chat about any specific routines, preferences, or needs your pup may have, and I look forward to making some new furry friends! I work from home three days a week, so when I'm available for pet care, your dog will enjoy plenty of company, attention, and regular breaks for walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. At weekends, I love exploring the local parks on long walks before relaxing in my little front garden - it's the perfect spot for a furry companion to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine alongside me. A day with me for your pet will always involve lots of love, care, and companionship. I live on my own in a cosy ground-floor flat with a secure garden, providing a calm and comfortable environment for your furry friend.

We had just taken in an elderly cat when her owner sadly passed right before the Christmas holiday when we were going to visit grieving family. Our elderly lady Petal wasn't in the best shape, incredibly skinny and with bad kidneys. We scrambled to find someone to look after her on such short notice and were very lucky to find Kirsty! She kept Petal company, ensured she was fed and had a clean litterbox. When we returned we were overjoyed to see that she was putting weight back on and was looking so good! Kirsty was genuinely absolutely amazing at dealing with everything, especially as we were so nervous leaving our little lady behind but Kirsty made sure we had nothing to worry about.

About: Hi! My name is Maddie, I am a qualified teacher and I currently work as an animal ranger in a small zoo. I have always had dogs and pets in my family home and love caring for and playing with animals. Since moving away from home, I have reliably cared for family and friends pets, inclusive of walking, feeding and bathing them. I don’t mind getting muddy on a walk and have experience with very energetic breeds such as spaniels and Weimaraners. I am capable of providing care for breeds with particular health requirements and responsibly ensure that their dietary needs are met. I am happy to support you and follow your lead to ensure that your dogs usual routines are kept to if required. I currently have availability during most weekday evenings and on weekends. I will be able to provide full time care to your pets in my home. My fiancé and I have a house with a secure garden for your dog to roam in freely. I am close to a few parks for walks and have space for a dog bed/crate downstairs. We don’t have our own pets so there is no risk of the animals not getting along and I don’t have any children to worry about either.

I would absolutely recommend Shivani to anyone! She was so lovely with my cat even though he was very anxious and shy she couldn’t have been more perfect and patient with him. She was very good at giving us frequent updates and pictures every time and spending time with him. Will definitely be asking her to look after him again no hesitation.

About: Hey, I'm Victoria! I'm 29 and I’ve loved dogs since I can remember, and have spent the 4 years loving Rover and meeting all the four-legged friends and owners, with a mixture of regular help or a one off! So much so, I've made a complete career change now working for The Kennel Club and studying Dog Behaviourism so I can help improve the lives of dogs and their owners. I’ve just moved to Clapham, having run a successful dog sitting business in Nottingham for 3 years, so building up my client base down here now! I live with a family friend overlooking Clapham Common so not short on green space to run around, play fetch, belly-rubs or even cuddles on the sofa with doggy sleepovers, daycare or a lunchtime walk. Throughout the last 4 years, I've had the joy of looking after dogs of all breeds (from Miniature Toy poodles through to Akitas and Huskies), walked across most of Nottingham countless times and built relationships with clients so much that I'm Auntie Victoria to their dogs, and they're like my own. With my experience and currently studying canine behaviouralism, I do take on many dogs who are reactive around other dogs or struggle with separation anxiety, a new phenomenon since COVID pandemic meant owners were always home. I always insist on meet & greets to make sure that you, your dog and I am comfortable, and it starts to build up familiarity with me and my home to your four-legged friend. I have a very flexible job so can accommodate most requests, don’t be afraid to ask! I love any size of dog and my experience has taught me how to respond to their different behaviours & personalities, and reinforce any training that you're doing! I only take 1 dog at a time so you can trust that your dog is getting my full attention - my motto has always been dog first. I work for The Kennel Club so couldn't be a more accepting workplace for being dog friendly! If they're not joining me and the team on a conference call, I have a very flexible calendar working from home and therefore multiple walks a day and playtime is absolutely fine. Whilst I may not yet have a dog of my own, my home does not reflect that. I have many dog toys, enrichments, treats to keep them happy and stimulated. Living on the Common itself means plenty of room to run around for your dogs, I have flexi-leads & long lines to ensure they’re safe at all times.

About: I am a huge animal lover, especially dogs. Having been brought up with dogs my whole life, mainly German Shepherds, it would not be the same without a dog in my home. I have taken care of a many different breeds, with various different temperaments over the years. I am patient, caring and responsible. I can offer feedback through photos and video should you require this. I am retired so have plenty of time and flexibility both week days and weekends. I am very fit and enjoy walking, especially with a dog. I have a large house, with a secure garden which allows dogs to roam freely. I only take one dog at a time, so there will be no other dogs sharing the space, home and garden. I can provide a very safe environment for your pet.

About: I come from a family of avid dog lovers. Since I was a young chap, we always had a canine companion present in the house. I have experience caring for and interacting with a variety of breeds. The largest dog breed I have many years of experience handling is the dogue de bordeaux, of which two were in my family for many years. I strive to continually educate myself on understanding dog behaviour and habits, while also familiarising myself with the specific characteristics of the canine under my care. I do understand what it means to be a dog owner, I am committed to taking every possible measure to ensure that they not only enjoy their time under my care but also receives vigilant attention to their well-being. While actively volunteering for St. John Ambulance, I maintain a highly flexible daily and weekly schedule that easily accommodates the needs of your canine companion. Given that my voluntary commitments are not bound by fixed shifts, please feel free to reach out whenever you require my services, without any hesitation. However, please do be aware that my calendar may change. Please contact me first because I may be unavailable for the date you require. All potentially sharp objects are safely secured away from the reach of animals. The garden is enclosed with an impregnable fence, ensuring that no dog can surpass its boundaries. Spanning a considerable size, the garden offers ample room for your cherished canine companion to roam, explore, and engage in playtime with me. Additionally, a detachable gate can be added to the stairwell in my home, discouraging more adventurous breeds from venturing without supervision.

About: Hello! My name is Daniela, mum of 2 rescue cats and a small dog. I am an experienced dog walker and pet sitter and have cared for many animals over the year. I am friendly and reliable and I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I'm DBS checked and a car owner. I have a level 4 diploma in canine welfare, training and behaviour. I can visit your home if you need help with general care such as the feeding of pets and cleaning of litter trays/hutches as well as cuddles and lots of attention. I can also help with any grooming requirements. I will also send you as many updates as you need and plenty of pics of what your animals are up to! I'm based in Bromley very close to numerous parks where your dog/s can have a great walk and run around for up to an hour or I will take them to their favourite places. Whatever you need, I will make sure they have lots of fun and come home bright-eyed and happy! I'm reliable and always trying to accommodate your needs. I have another job, but I’m passionate about pet care and fit it into my routine by scheduling walks, feedings, cuddles and playtime whenever possible. When providing care in a pet owner’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet's routine to minimize stress. This includes feeding, walking, and providing companionship as directed. I respect the owner’s home, ensuring it is left clean and secure. I also keep in regular contact with updates and photos, so the owner knows their pet is well taken care of.

Tafana was an amazing cat sitter and took such great care of Izzy while I was away. She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated, which really put my mind at ease, especially during the recent heatwave. She made sure Izzy always had plenty of fresh water, kept the house cool and comfortable, and spent time playing with her so she had company and stimulation. It was clear she genuinely cared about Izzy's wellbeing. I wouldn't hesitate to use Tafana again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable cat sitter.

The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Bromley pet parents with similar pet households.

Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bromley choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
